The crypto market slid deeper into Fear this week, with the CMC Fear &amp; Greed Index dropping to 29 as Bitcoin dominance held at 58.9%. Total market cap fell 0.51% to $3.15 trillion, while trading volume declined 0.68% to $196.11 billion. Against this backdrop, Binance Alpha maintained its listing pace with two Dec. 11 launches: Talus Network (US) and BeatSwap (BTX), both featuring Alpha Points-based airdrops.
DOYR ripped 5,891% over seven days, leading a pack of micro-cap tokens that ignored the macro gloom. Meanwhile, new listings sparked participation scrambles, even as the market cap sits at $15.001 billion and trading volume at $8.422 billion.

<h2 id="market-overview">Market Overview</h2>
Binance Alpha's market cap stands at $15.001 billion, with trading volume at $8.422 billion. The platform has maintained activity through two major listings and continued airdrop distributions.
The disconnect between Alpha's listing activity and price performance creates a unique environment. While established tokens face selling pressure from deleveraging and risk-off rotation, Alpha maintained its launch pace with two Dec. 11 distributions. Bitcoin dominance at 58.9% pulled liquidity away from altcoins, while the CMC Fear &amp; Greed Index remained stuck at 29/100, extending a multi-week Fear streak.
Three factors drove the sell-off. First, Bitcoin's rejection below $103,000 triggered $164.19 million in liquidations over 24 hours, mostly wiping out overleveraged longs. Second, open interest climbed 4.77% to $841.1 billion while funding rates spiked 15.48%, indicating traders positioned for volatility rather than direction. And third, social sentiment scored 4.9/10 as institutional adoption narratives (Solana's JPMorgan debt deal) clashed with exchange security concerns and CBDC skepticism.
Despite the bearish backdrop, Binance kept rolling out listings, suggesting a focus on user retention and ecosystem growth over short-term price performance.

<h2 id="new-listings-launched-dec-11">New Listings Launched Dec. 11</h2>
While prices fell, Binance Alpha announced two listings:
<ul>
 <li>Talus Network (US) launched Dec. 11 at noon UTC. Users with 236 Alpha Points could claim 2,000 US tokens (15 points consumed per claim, 24-hour confirmation window).</li>
 <li>BeatSwap (BTX) launched Dec. 11 at 10:00 a.m. UTC. Users with 241 Alpha Points could claim 1,200 BTX tokens under the same mechanics.</li>
</ul>
Both thresholds exceeded the 140-point benchmark that Infinity Ground set for 600 AIN tokens. Binance has not announced whether higher thresholds will apply to future Alpha launches.
<h2 id="top-gainers-week-of-extremes">Top Gainers: Week of Extremes</h2>
Despite broader market weakness, several Alpha tokens posted strong gains:
7-Day Gainers:
<ul>
 <li>DOYR (DOYR): +5,891.47% to $0.004715, $4.7M market cap, $21.5M volume</li>
 <li>Mind Network (FHE): +191.84% to $0.04551, $15.97M market cap, $14.4M volume</li>
 <li>Power Protocol (POWER): +172.38% to $0.2205, $46.3M market cap, $32.1M volume</li>
 <li>SentismAI (SENTIS): +90.66% to $0.1804, $35.36M market cap, $119.3M volume</li>
 <li>pippin (PIPPIN): +78.62% to $0.3297, $329.7M market cap, $64.7M volume</li>
 <li>GaiAI (GAIX): +76.05% to $0.2000, $32.8M market cap, $111.3M volume</li>
 <li>Humidifi (WET): +75.75% to $0.1968, $45.2M market cap, $149.7M volume</li>
</ul>

DOYR's nearly 5,891% gain came despite a 24.07% pullback over 24 hours, suggesting early buyers took profits. Pippin's $329.7 million market cap makes it one of Alpha's larger plays, offering more liquidity than the sub-$50M names dominating the leaderboard. Power Protocol stood out with a 4.05% daily gain, rare among seven-day winners.
24-Hour Trending:
<ul>
 <li>Jelly-My-Jelly (JELLYJELLY): +45.25% weekly, +30.74% daily, $64.15M market cap, $123.4M volume</li>
 <li>LAB (LAB): +18.05% weekly, -4.74% daily, $25.8M market cap, $675.5M volume</li>
 <li>Cysic (CYS): +8.58% weekly, +8.58% daily, $36.1M market cap, $82.6M volume</li>
 <li>Yooldo (ESPORTS): +1.54% weekly, -0.36% daily, $98.3M market cap, $665.1M volume</li>
 <li>DeAgentAI (AIA): -61.43% weekly, -48.41% daily, $19.03M market cap, $22.1M volume</li>
 <li>Talus Network (US): +2.28% weekly, +2.28% daily, $39.5M market cap, $103M volume</li>
 <li>BeatSwap (BTX): +1.90% weekly, +1.90% daily, $8.99M market cap, $74.4M volume</li>
</ul>

LAB's $675.5 million in 24-hour volume, despite being down 4.74% daily, suggests heavy airdrop claims or staking activity. DeAgentAI's -61.43% weekly decline with $22.1 million volume against a $19.03 million market cap indicates trapped holders rather than bullish conviction.

<h2 id="fear-dominates-sentiment">Fear Dominates Sentiment</h2>
The CMC Fear &amp; Greed Index sits at 29/100, down one point in 24 hours but up two points from 27 last week. The index has hovered in Fear territory for over a month, reflecting persistent risk aversion despite minor rebounds.
<ul>
 <li>Derivatives activity: Open interest rose 4.77% to $841.1 billion in 24 hours, while average funding rates increased 15.48% to 0.004%. BTC liquidations surged 63.31% to $164.19 million, mostly longs. Rising leverage amid Fear signals speculative bets on volatility, but liquidations suggest overextended positions. Funding rate spikes above 0.01% often precede sharp reversals.</li>
 <li>Social sentiment: Social sentiment scored 4.9/10 (neutral), with conflicting narratives reflecting market uncertainty. Bullish posts highlighted Solana's Breakpoint announcements (JPMorgan debt deal) and Bittensor's halving event, while bearish posts pointed to OKX wallet security concerns and CBDC risks. Institutional adoption buzz offsets exchange FUD, but neither narrative dominates.</li>
 <li>Broader momentum: CoinMarketCap's momentum algorithm highlighted SentismAI (+90.64% 7d via MEXC/Alpha listings), Onyxcoin (+16.98% 7d via Robinhood listing), and Zcash (+24.12% 7d via institutional accumulation). The Altcoin Season Index sits at 16 (Bitcoin dominance: 58.9%), indicating continued risk-off behavior as liquidity flows to Bitcoin.</li>
</ul>
Alpha token performance reflects this dynamic. While listing activity kept participation high, price action remained weak as traders avoided risk. The Alpha Point thresholds for Talus and BeatSwap suggest Binance is working to maintain engagement despite subdued demand.
<h2 id="what-you-should-watch">What You Should Watch</h2>
<ul>
 <li>Track your rolling 15-day point balance: The expiration mechanism means periods of inactivity directly reduce future participation eligibility</li>
 <li>Monitor post-listing price action for DOYR and Mind Network: Tokens that gain 100%+ weekly often face profit-taking pressure once early buyers exit</li>
 <li>Watch Fear &amp; Greed Index movement: A return to "Neutral" sentiment (50+) could fuel sustained altcoin rallies and boost Alpha trading volume</li>
 <li>Check funding rates on high-volume trending tokens: Spikes above 0.01% on tokens like Jelly-My-Jelly historically precede 20%+ reversals within 48 hours</li>
</ul>
